Skywork Helicopters has a division that specialises in supporting the New Zealand farming industry.

With the changing world of aviation, Skywork Helicopters has built a reputation for providing a safe, professional and high-quality service for all its customers.

Aerial spraying in New Zealand is an industry facing certain closure as a result of increasing environmental pressure. Gone are the days when 'crop spraying' was undertaken by eye and experience. Skywork Helicopters has spent considerable resources researching and developing technology that can lead New Zealand towards safer application practices.

Skywork Helicopters operates controlled flow meters, anti-drift booms and satellite navigation (DGPS) for precision and optimum application of agri-chemical solutions. Another example is the use of mobile mixing centres with rooftop helipads, which contain all water and chemical with support equipment. This method of containment prevents risk of environmental ground seepage and spillage into creeks, rivers and ponds.

No farming job is too big or too small for Skywork Helicopters. With an extensive fleet, we are able to accommodate short or long term contracts. Costs to farmers can be minimised by careful planning of several tasks in the same area.
